{"product_id":"white-rhino","title":"White Rhino","description":"This was a challenge quilt made to support rhino conservation in Kenya.\r\nThe quilt is appliqué and thread painting.\u003cp\u003eI am from Kenya and am always inspired by Kenyan wildlife, and often depict them in my quilts. I chose the white rhino as my focus for this quilt because on a recent trip to Samburu, I spotted a white rhino. Unfortunately, due to poaching, the white rhino is highly endangered and I wished to represent their majestic beauty through my art. While I've seen other quilters depict black rhino's in their quilts, I was specifically inspired to use the white rhino as my focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis was a challenge quilt in which I sought to encompass a number of different mediums, including appliqué and thread painting. I concentrated heavily on the eye of the rhino, and used fabric paint to do so. I always believe the eye is the soul of a work. I used paint to highlight the details of the rhinos face, for example, the shadows around the ears and the wrinkles around his eyes. I chose the background fabric so as to emulate the varying shades of green and yellow of Sabmuru's landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece won 2nd place in our club.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Veena Sennik \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eQuilter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Veena Sennik \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eYear Made:\u003c\/strong\u003e  2019 \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOwned By:\u003c\/strong\u003e Veena Sennik \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16.5 x 24 inches \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShows \u0026amp; Museums:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kenya Museum in 2019 \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAwards:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2nd in club award  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Veena Sennik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54066721751315,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/4575\/5155\/files\/29181-white-rhino-7-1776270960.jpg?v=1776702004","url":"https:\/\/gallery.thequiltshow.com\/products\/white-rhino","provider":"The Quilt Show Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
